Description
What are the inner, personal qualities that make a leader great? Business consultant and philosopher, Peter Loestenbaum, offers his highly personal view of the characteristics great leaders have in common - realism, vision, ethics, and courage - and outlines strategies managers can use to achieve and sustain both personal and organizational greatness. Koestenbaum tells how personal growth can translate into profits at the organizational level, and he challenges managers to give meaning to their lives through the quality of their work. He argues that the need for profit and productivity must be balanced with individual human needs
